Last updated: 2024-02-26



## Purpose

This repository contains the replication materials for doi:[10.1111/ssqu.13142](https://doi.org/10.1111/ssqu.13142)





## Data Sources

Before running the code in this repository, obtain the data from the three following sources:


1. Current Population Survey, November 2010: Voting and Registration Supplement (ICPSR 31082). https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR31082.v1
2. Current Population Survey, November 2014: Voting and Registration Supplement (ICPSR 36386). https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36386.v1
3. Current Population Survey, November 2010: Civic Engagement Supplement (ICPSR 32341). https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR32341.v2
